This show-stopping presentation is for wowing guests when you only have a few minutes to prep and get something into the oven. Make sure you have butcher's twine on hand for tying the roast.

　　Meat

　　Non-gebrokts

　　

Ingredients

Makes 6 servings

　　5 medium white button mushrooms

　　1/2 (10-ounce) box frozen chopped spinach, defrosted

　　3 sprigs fresh rosemary

　　10 ounces large pimiento-stuffed green olives

　　Zest of 1 orange

　　Zest of 1 small lemon

　　1 (3-pound) veal roast, netted and tied

　　Fine sea salt

　　Freshly ground black pepper

　　2 tablespoons olive oil

　　2 tablespoons honey

　　6 tablespoons apricot preserves

　　2 teaspoons imitation mustard

　　

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°F.

　　

Step 2

Place the mushrooms, the 1/2-box defrosted spinach, leaves from the rosemary sprigs, olives, orange zest, and lemon zest into the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Pulse to combine to a paste.

　　

Step 3

Untie the roast. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Spread the stuffing paste evenly over the surface of the veal, generously covering it.

　　

Step 4

Reroll the roast and tie it just tightly enough to secure; don't tie too tightly or the filling will all ooze out. The filling will be visible.

　　

Step 5

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Add the veal roast and sear on all sides until the meat is a deep golden-brown. Place the seared roast into a roasting pan.

　　

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the honey, apricot preserves, and mustard. Rub all the meat surfaces with a thick coating of the apricot-honey mixture, reserving some mixture. Bake for 1 hour, covered. Remove the roast from the oven and baste with remaining apricot-honey mixture. Return to the oven, uncovered, for 15 more minutes. Allow the roast to stand for 10 minutes before slicing. The roast should be juicy and slightly pink in the center.
